So we've got to fix that.

Republicans are the party that have the ideas to do that.

We have a doctor's caucus inside the Republican conference that works around the clock, putting together these ideas, talking to stakeholders and other providers around the country.

We have a lot of ideas to fix it.

Some people say, why can't you just rip Obamacare out at the roots and start over?

It's very, very complicated.

It affects about 18% of the US economy, healthcare, but there's lots of areas of improvement.

This is not a talking point for us.

We've demonstrated it in the one big beautiful bill, the Working Families Tax Cuts.

We added lots of provisions, for example, to reform Medicaid.

It was being drained.

The resources there are intended for U.S.

citizens that are in a small number of categories, the disabled, the elderly, young pregnant women in difficult situations, etc.

But what was happening is you had illegal aliens draining the resources who are not allowed to do it under law.

And you had young, able-bodied men, for example, without dependents who were riding the wagon.

We reformed that in our bill.

We reduced the cost.

And the Congressional Budget Office, the CBO, just analyzed in late August, August 25th, in the report, they said it's going to have the desired effect.

Yeah, well, not lying.

I'm telling you the truth.
